Kid Rock is proud to announce the first dates of his .Rebel Soul. worldwide tour in support of his recently released album bearing the same name. Backed as always by his Twisted Brown Trucker band, the full-scale arena tour will feature Buckcherry and Hellbound Glory as support.

As Joe Bonamassa grows his reputation as one of the world's greatest guitar players, he is also evolving into a charismatic blues-rock star and singer-songwriter of
stylistic depth and emotional resonance. His ability to connect with live concert audiences is transformational. Last year was Bonamassa.s twentieth year as a
professional musician, an extraordinary timeline for a young artist just into his .30s. A child prodigy, Bonamassa was finessing Stevie Ray Vaughan licks when he was
seven and by the time he was ten, had caught B.B. King.s ear. After first hearing him play, King said, .This kid.s potential is unbelievable. He hasn.t even begun to
scratch the surface. He.s one of a kind.. By age 12, Bonamassa was opening shows for the blues icon and went on to tour with venerable acts including Buddy Guy,
Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker and Gregg Allman. Bonamassa circles the globe playing an average of 200 shows a year, and his mind-blowing guitar
wizardry and electrifying stage presence are selling out progressively larger venues all the time. The OC Register's Robert Kinsler has written, .Whether in a club or
outdoors at a festival, something magnetic happens when Bonamassa steps to the front of the stage, leans his head back and simply lets loose.
